I have purchased from that particular seller before Good stuff!! I have never bought the powder stuff b4 probably should though, as I never plan on using the granular splenda again. I have a couple of empty dropper bottles that I have emptied that I could use.

I have no problem with sucralose in fact I use Sweetzfree but decided only after reviewing posts, reviewing how long people had been using it with no ill effects, and emailing the company. She was very kind and helpful and prompt with her responses also. It's not worth saving a few $$ on an unknown product for me because of health issues. I am glad you are liking it though it is quite a savings!

I don't want to rain on your parade, but there are a few points to consider.

1. Powdered sucralose is so powerful that it has to be measured incredibly exactly for making liquid splenda- to the thousandth of a gram. If you're the slightest bit off, you won't be able to use it for recipes that call for liquid splenda because it will be either way to weak or way too strong. So, either you'll need a super accurate scale or buy it from someone who you know is measuring it precisely.

2. Liquid splenda contains preservatives- preservatives that you can't walk into a supermarket and purchase. Everyone's tap water (or bottled water) has differing level of bacterial counts, but, for the most part, if you put it in a bottle for a few months, things will eventually grow. If you bake with it enough or make very small amounts of it, this may not be a problem, but if you make a lot, it could turn. If you really want to do it right, I've got the recipe for Liquid Splenda (preservatives and all- from the original patent), but expect a trip to the chemical supplier.

About the powdered Splenda. I bought some a long while back. It was offered right up until they banned selling it here in the US. I think I got the last bit of the sellers stash. It came in a plastic bag with instructions on making the powder a liquid. I still have it (in powdered form) in my cabinet and couldn't even tell you how old it is. I know it is years old though. But it still works just fine. I keep it in powdered form and make just a 3/4 cup worth as needed. That 3/4 cup worth lasts for months too without refrigeration. My hubby was not thrilled with it being in the fridge taking up space so on the counter it sits. I think bobo should be just fine with the stash he just got.......I don't see why any preservatives would be needed if making as needed and not a giant batch?

do you guys drink city water?
do you eat non-organic vegetables?
are your eggs cage free, and your meat free range?

If not, then trust we, you are ingesting
waaaaaaaay more poisons then you will ever
find in a little powdered sucralose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yea........one more thing, do you guys use the microwave?
If you do, then you are KILLING every single gram of
nutritional value in your food anyway, so why would
you care about a little sucralose from China :-)

scott..........yes, the powder is very potent and should be
measured carefully, but I will learn how to mix, and still
prefer to mix my own and control the content.

I agree that in liquid form the solution would be subject to
bacterial growth, but I intend to only mix in liquid form as
needed (or not too far in advance).

dawnyama bought hers "a long while back", and
"couldn't even tell you how old it is.", although she does know it is "years old", and is still pleased with it's performance.

My personal belief is that in powdered form, this will last a
very very very long time, and save me the additional carbs
from the baking Splenda, and the Quick Packs.

Everybody.............if you enjoy Splenda, this powder is the way to go.
If you are already using Splenda products, save yourself the extra carbs,
and give this a try!

Why would you care if people have concerns bobo. Its a personal opinion and mine is if its somebody I don't know or can't get in touch with if I have a problem with the product....I don't buy it carb savings or not. Do you trust everybody that sells something on ebay....lol I sure don't.
